DETROIT, MI - The band that called Detroit "Detroit Rock City," and fell in love with the Motor City because of its fan support, is leading a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame poll that asks fans to vote for members of its 2014 class.

KISS, originally a New York City band formed in 1973, led the Cleveland-based Rock and Rock Hall of Fame poll with 182,846 votes as of 8 a.m. Monday. Other music acts in the poll include Nirvana, Hall and Oates and Deep Purple.

KISS has a love for Detroit for a variety of reasons. The city was one of the first places that embraced the band early in its career, and it is also where - at Cobo Hall - KISS recorded its wildly successful "Alive" live album.
